GONER

Chapter 3: Good news.


Emily was really angry at herself, she had to argue with Hotch, she refused to go at the field. Whole team was shocked when she wanted get out of the case, when she wanted help with the profile and filling the paperwork in.

Hotch knew something was wrong with her. He discovered her relationship with Morgan when he died. He talked with Morgan about it, he had to make sure Morgan wouldn't called her. 'What is bothering her?' Hotch wondered.

He could understand her, he had to live the same thing she was living, losing the love of his life. He supposed she was dealing with Morgan's death. But it wasn't a excuse, the team was dealing with it too. It wasn't easy to forget how they lost their friend.

Hotch needed the best Emily Prentiss in the field. He was looking for a replacement for Morgan, although he was give a little time to the team. Hotch decided talk with her when they arrive at DC.

Meanwhile Emily was sitting alone, she wanted to talk with nobody. She had her look lost in the clouds. JJ couldn't avoid looking her, they were losing her by moments, she needed to talk with somebody.

JJ stood up carefully, she didn't want to wake up Reid or Rossi who were sleeping, and she sat down in front of her. Emily didn't realize that until JJ started to talk.

"Em, hey" Emily looked back her, she had her eyes red, she had been crying. JJ crossed her legs and smiled at her. "How long" Emily frowned and she tried to refuse it but she didn't say anything.

"How have you noticed that? Am I showing?" She got to say a little worried.

JJ grinned she was right. "No, you are not showing yet, it's that gesture" she pointed at the Emily's hand resting on her stomach "You have been doing for all week"

Emily nodded with a little smile "Nine weeks"

"I think it's a good idea telling to the team this, it's the first good news in this year"

"You think it's a good moment? I mean Derek…" Emily stopped talking, she said his name, every time she said his name she broke.

JJ took the seat next to her and held her hand.

"It's okay, Em, it doesn't matter if you cry, he is your friend"

"He is the father" she whispered, JJ was shocked, she knew they were close, and they shared a lot of things. 'They were together' she thought. "I'm sorry for hide it from you"

"Now, I understand a lot of things, so Derek was the mysterious man, who you didn't want to go out with me and Penelope in a Ladies' night… Oh my god! Penelope! She will be in the nine cloud when you told her about this!"

Emily let out a laugh that woke up Rossi and Reid and they smiled at seeing JJ and Emily laughing.

"I am scared"

"Don't worry, we are here, with you" Emily felt the squeeze of JJ's hand. "You know, I said you, right here, that you would be good with kids. Congrats, Emily"

"Thank you, JJ"


Finally, they arrived at the BAU. Emily told to the team she needed to tell them something. Rossi and JJ knew what was it.

She took her time and she went to the bathroom, she washed her face out. She saw her reflection in the mirror and she grabbed the gold chain round her neck.

A few weeks ago, Fran found it hiding behind the Derek's clothes, it was a ring with Emily's name. It seemed Derek had bought it to propose her. He didn't have time to give it to her. Emily decided to put it in a gold chain due to Morgan had never proposed.

She kissed the ring.

She left the bathroom and she was on her way to the conference room, before opening the door she took a breath, she could see the whole team filling in the paperwork and waiting for her through the glass door.

She came in to the conference room and they stopped doing their stuff. Emily swallowed saliva.

"Come on, Em! What is the good new?" Garcia asked really excited

"Are you getting another cat?" Reid said

"Oh god! No, she is getting a dog!"

"No, I don't think so, Prentiss likes cats, somebody who loves cats gets cats not dogs because ..."

"Baby" Emily interrupted Reid. Hotch raised his eyebrows and covered his face with his hands, he felt so guilty, Derek was in a undercover because of him, he was insisting in he was the right person to that work. He had to prayed for Derek comes back as soon as possible, totally saved.

"Why you called me 'Baby'?" Reid asked and Emily shaked her head.

"No, Reid, I didn't mean that. I am pregnant" Emily smiled and García covered her with her arms

"Oh my god! Oh my god! OH MY GOD! Who is he? Why you never told me about him? I think we have to hang out in a Ladies' night, without alcohol, of course" JJ got closer them and she helped Emily to calm Garcia down.

"Please, Pen, sit down again, I think Emily has more things to tell us"

"Oh god! Are you having twins?!"

"GARCIA!" They yelled.

"I am sorry, guys" Emily started to say, she didn't stare at them, the guilt didn't let her to look them. "You know, I was so closer to Derek, we were in a relationship, together, for more than ten months. Sorry" the conference room remained in absolute silence until Reid talked

"What do you mean?" He knew perfectly what she meant but he needed heard it from Emily. The woman who makes his best friend settle down his head.

"Derek is the father"

"You two were lying us for more than ten months? What were you thinking? I bet you had a lot of fun laughing at us!" Garcia ran away as fast as possible, Emily didn't have much time to react when she left the room.

Emily felt the Spencer's arms round her "Congratulations! I'd like to be there for everything"

"Thanks, pretty boy, but I have to talk with Pen right now" Reid grinned at her when he heard the nickname that Morgan used to call him.

Emily went to Garcia's office, her bat cave. She found the door was closed and she began to knock on the door "Pen, open the door, please"

Nobody responded "If you don't open the door, I will be waiting here for hours, you know I don't care about" Emily listened some little noises behind the door. She imagined a Penelope Garcia very angry and happy. Morgan always said she was going to be the most damaged.

"Derek always wanted to tell you, but I didn't, he didn't tell you because of me, okay?" She stopped to take a breath "I know you could be upset, I understand you completely, open the door"

"He was my best friend he had to trust me"

"He did, it's my fault, Pen" She opened the door and hugged her.

"Don't blame yourself, Emily Prentiss"

"Have you forgiven me?" She let out a laugh

"I'm sorry, Em. I just couldn't believe he is not here to take care of you and the babies, and I hate you for not telling me before. I swear I would have ran after him and I will have held prisoner him in my bat cave. He would be here" Emily wiped away her tears and hugged her. "I miss him"

"I miss him too" Emily whispered and Penelope had a rebel grin in her face.

"Are you having twins?"

"No, Penelope, I am not having twins"
